Plane red envelope

Chapter 424 The First Northern Expedition

Fang Qiang is relatively easy to get along with, and he has no airs about him. All the food is prepared and everyone enjoys it together.After all, my soldiers are all close friends of life and death, there is no need to be pretentious!
The crabs are steamed and red, and they are tempting and delicious.It’s really cut directly, and the green onions are cooked and put in a pot. Just looking at it makes people drool.The most labor-intensive thing is the abalone, but after brushing with the secret sauce, it will inspire a strong seafood aroma.

Fang Qiang took a sip and almost swallowed his tongue, it was really delicious.

Everything is ready, let's start.

There were more than 100 of Fang Qiang's personal soldiers, plus Blackhead and Yu Tonghai, all of them ate and drank on the Jinling, and the scene was particularly spectacular for a while.

After eating and drinking, Fang Qiang quietly basked in the sun on the deck, and the sea breeze blew leisurely. Holding it on his face was like silk slipping, stealing half a day of leisure!
I have been busy during this time, but it is rare to be so comfortable.

However, the happy time always passed quickly. Before he knew it, it was getting late. Fang Qiang gained a lot this day. Not only did he have a full meal, but he also personally directed the training of the Jinling Navy.

Some time ago, Fang Qiang would look up information when he had free time, so he was quite clear about the combat regulations of the modern navy. He compiled various matters and combat skills into a booklet. Blackheads and Yu Tonghai.

Of course, the two of them found a treasure. With this thing, the navy's training would avoid many detours.

It was already evening when Fang Qiang returned to land. He originally planned to spend the night at the Jinling Navy's garrison, but he didn't expect Liu Bowen to be waiting here.

Fang Qiang has always been unsuspecting in employing people, so he gave Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others a lot of power, and they can basically discuss all matters in the territory.

But this time Liu Bowen came in person, which meant that they couldn't decide on this matter.

"See Wu Guogong!" Liu Bowen saluted Fang first, and then began to talk about business, "Liu Futong's messenger just arrived yesterday. He came to ask for help. He has received definite news. Wang Baobao led an army of 50 troops to march, and the vanguard has already arrived at the city. How to decide is up to you to make up your mind!"

"This Wang Baobao is really a tough opponent!"

Since this time, Fang Qiang has been busy developing the territory, and Wang Baobao has not been idle either. He has straightened out the entire power of Beiyuan, and his uncle Chahan has long become a thing of yesterday.

Although the Mongolian and Yuan courts have sunk to the west, they still rule half of China, even Koryo, and the Silla generation is also under his control.So the 50 troops this time may not be groundless, I am afraid it is a real number!
Liu Futong's territory happened to be between Fang Qiang and Wang Baobao.

If you think about it with your ass, you can figure it out. After Wang Baobao cleans up Liu Futong, he will definitely attack him.

Fang Qiang's newly recruited soldiers are still in military training, so he has to fight for 1 to 2 months.Although it is possible to win the war now, the loss is definitely not small.

Can Liu Futong withstand Wang Baobao's crazy attack for a month?Definitely not!Therefore, it is almost a foregone conclusion that Fang Qiang will send reinforcements!

It is impossible for Liu Bowen not to understand such a simple matter, so why did he ask?

"Liu Ji, Wang Baobao has already reached the door. We will send troops to help no matter what. Why are you so hesitant?"

"Wu Guogong, this is Liu Futong's letter asking for help. You will know it as soon as you read it!"

Fang Qiang took the letter for help and looked at it, and couldn't help crying and laughing at the moment, it turned out that this was not a letter of request for help at all, but an imperial decree!

The higher-ups strongly ordered Fang Qiang to attack Wang Baobao in the north, and even conferred him a modest official position—the Grand Marshal of the Left Route Army!
"This Liu Futong really treats himself like a green onion. Who does he think he is? He dares to confer his official position. I really don't know what it means!"

In other words, Guo Zixing and others served Han Shantong as the commander-in-chief of the Red Scarf Army during the uprising. Later, when Han Shantong died in battle, Liu Futong took the opportunity to help Han Shantong's youngest son as the commander-in-chief, and even proclaimed himself emperor!

In layman's terms, it means coercing the emperor to make the princes, but the weight of the emperor he is coercing is too light, and the commanders of the Red Turban Army will not sell his face at all.

Fang Qiang came from Guo Zixing's sect and was considered a member of the Red Scarf Army. Although he had established his own company long ago, he still had such a subordinate relationship in name.

During this period of time, Fang Qiang and Liu Futong still have some contacts. That guy's territory is really poor. Not only the people don't have enough to eat, but even the soldiers are hungry and full.

In order to let him curb Wang Baobao's momentum, Fang Qiang often subsidized him with some food and supplies, but he didn't expect this guy to go to the market for a long time, and he dared to make such an imperial edict in a grand manner.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Bowen refused to send troops to fight. If he really went, his status as master and servant would be confirmed. Not to mention Fang Qiang's unwillingness, even he himself would not be able to swallow this breath.

"Wu Guogong, how do we make a decision? Should we send troops or not?"

At this time, Liu Bowen hated Liu Futong to the core, so if you ask for help, you will ask for help. You must issue some imperial decree. You can be naive!

"Send troops!" Fang Qiang said decisively: "We must send troops. Once Wang Baobao destroys Liu Futong, we will be very passive! But one thing to remember, we are not sending troops according to orders, but the Northern Expedition!"

"Northern Expedition?" Hearing these words, Liu Bowen suddenly realized that with the current development momentum of the territory, he would sooner or later confront Wang Baobao, and a big battle between the two sides was inevitable!So the Northern Expedition is sooner or later!

Now one step ahead can still gain the initiative to a large extent!Really kill two birds with one stone!
"Liu Ji, you go and discuss a date with Song Lian. I want to be granted the title of King of Wu. Then I'll call Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. Let's discuss the specific matters of the Northern Expedition!"

"Yes!"

Liu Bowen was so excited that he couldn't help himself. Fang Qiang had finally taken this step, and the timing was just right. Now that he was granted the title of King Wu, it would not only boost the morale of the army, but also provide a reason for the Northern Expedition. The most important thing is to completely plan with Liu Futong from now on. Clear the boundaries, you are you, I am me, no one belongs to each other!
Liu Bowen could almost foresee that Fang Qiang's next step would definitely be to proclaim himself emperor, probably right after the real Northern Expedition!
right!It was the real Northern Expedition. Now this time it was just a few slogans. The strategic purpose was to contain Wang Baobao. The reason was simple. Fang Qiang's army was seriously insufficient at the moment, and he was not sure that it would depend on the first battle, so it would be better to talk about it later.
